Happy pi day everyone! Unfortunately I missed a very unique and special time this year in particular, because of 2015. March 14th '15 9:26:53 AM is what I mean. Funnily I didn't really realize this until now, but then I saw that the year was in the pi digits. :P
Who here woke up for pi second (or even 1/100 of pi second)?
PM works too right?
Anyway this is a very exciting day. Happy π day!
Edit. Oooh. I woke up for pi millisecond.
I've set up my alarm for that, my mom as well :P
But yeah, PM would work as well.
i've slept right through, and don't you guys mean PiM? :trollface:
PiM my ride? :trollface:
Yep, pi millisecond would work. Too bad this won't happen for another 100 year now.

Don't you mean pilliseconds? :trollface:
EDIT (DJ): Link removed since it could crash people's computers/devices
I'll just leave that here.
lol that eats all my CPU
Happy ½τ day all!
That literally just killed my phone. I had to hold down the power button for 15 seconds to restart.
It's Pi second PM!
EDIT: Missed by a second, I blame HTTP overload. Also yeah, that site is pretty CPU intensive.
Oh right, I forgot about Pi second PM. But I guess it's only for 'murica and older Canadians who still use the 12 hours system. :P
Also juju please do not link to sites that can freeze people's computer. I removed the link.
But the site was cool. D: You should have edited in a warning instead.
Yeah something like "Warning, for entertainment purposes, this site will melt your CPU(s), do you want to continue?" ;p
Yes. I think that's the proper kinda of message. :P

Someone with an high end CPU should just record a vid of it. :P
My CPU is quite high end, though it laggs quite a bit
I have a 4GHz i7. :P
So expensive.
2.5 with TB to 3.5, 's'not that bad for a laptop, heh.
TB?
TurboBoost. The thing which will turn on only when not all your logic cores are used intensively.
ohh, sounds effective :P
Actually, I've never seein it running at max speed. The most I used was 3GHz but most of times, HyperThreading is quite fine as 8 (virtual) cores @ 2.5GHz are way enough for me.
Pffft. i only have 4 <_<
I have 4 physical cores, but if you have HT, a core could use the registers it doesn't use to emulate a second core.
oh thats quite cool actually
Quite, it is. (-_(//)); YOu'll probably use more often HT than TB though as they're exclusive and only the CPU decides of it's performances policy IIRC.
I always wondered if my computer had 8 virtual cores or 4. I think it's 4 since it's quad core and a 1st gen i7, but from the task manager I wasn't sure the first time I checked. I should google it. Not that it matters, though, since my computer is over 5 years old now (it does the job very well for most of my tasks, though)
Go to ark.Intel.com (Duck Duck Go !bang : !ark), you'll get all the info you want and even more.
Or use CPU-Z.

Well I use both simultaneously all the time. :P
You can't really use them both at the same time as the processor scale the power with the current used cores and temperature (after all I don't really know about these tech, so...)
Well my cooler can handle the extra temp from turbo. Hyperthreading doesn't increase power use or heat because it basically just fills in the idles of either thread that runs on the core.
Oh well I should ask techies for that kind of question.
I like to use Monte-Carlo method of guessing Pi. I like to use it as a performance test on calc after and before over clock.
I use the 3+4/(2*3*4)-4/(4*5*6)+4/(6*7*8 )... method.
That one seems fun to try on too. I should try making one on BASIC to compare clock speeds.
Yeah its a really easy method, and gives quite good results in relatively few iterations

Thanks for the info. I found it: http://ark.intel.com/products/41316/Intel-Core-i7-860-Processor-8M-Cache-2_80-GHz
4 cores and 8 threads. Still a bit ancient I guess, though :P
Oh wow 2009. I had a core2duo machine from back then lol.
My desktop have a core2quad from this year! Noice!
i can't test my desktop atm. School pc :/
My school computers are amazing but somehow they lag so bad. They have 12 (24 because somehow Intel's cores count as like 2x) cores at 2.4GHz.
We have some dells from like 2004 or something
That was how our school was but they let the technical group of people use superb computers.
Oh and i have an AMD CPU (yes yes not very popular i know) so i can't find info of it on intels site :P
but cpu-world says 4 cores 4 threads (its a FX-4300)
BTW: Anyone else noticed that the post users ever online was on pi day? :3=

Yes, maybe people thought that CW opened on pi day? :trollface:
Also we're quite off-topic. I might try to split this CPU discussion into a new topic later :P
Well since pi day is over theres not really a topic :P
it starts in 360-ish days, though :P
But thats not a special one, that would just be 3/14... So 360 days and 99 years
Indeed but still pi day nonetheless. :P (we could reuse this topic too)
